That was how I ended up with the Rolleiflex 3.5B. I sold a mFT lens that I had sitting in a drawer. It started out as my lens for shooting birds but once I switched to the OM-1 with the 300/4 I never used the 100-400 again. It financed the Rollei.

Thank goodness I'm not the only one... :) I have several Voigtländer cameras and one or two Voigtländer lenses. I still have some shots left on the FP4+ in the VITO CLR and I'm going to pick up another roll of FP4+ so I can finish my shoot off with the Retinette 1B. I'm pretty sure there...

F2AS w/motor drive and attached DS-1 aperture control.

I'm afraid you are correct. However with the arrival of the F2, I'm sure I won't ever need another... :oops:

I read the article on fungus as well as the others linked on haze and separation.

Thanks for the link Ralph, I wasn't aware of JAPB and it looks like the sort of stuff I like to read.

You're right Pete, there isn't. I pulled the trigger on an F2 Photomic with a working meter. I ought to have it next week. I'm planning to take it to the coast the following week along with the Rollei. Will probably load them both with color.

A great series that appears to be in your usual style!

This is what I keep coming back to. Thanks Paul. There is a super clean one on eBay auction. I'll give it a shot and see how things work out.

Nothing like a flower shoot to brighten one's mood!

Looks like the original DP-1 finder. How often do you use it? I suspect that would be the version I'll end up with - assuming that I can't calm this attack.

Your ability to add amusing titles is great!

Everyone needs a hobby Pete... :)

What finder is on yours Paul?

Supposedly, the F2 is/was Nikon's premier/best made SLR. Hand assembled. All mechanical. There are four versions of the Photomic finder (for the F2). I'm apparently having another flair-up of G.A.S. and have been looking at F2's. It appears that I can get a clean F2 Photomic for about $200...
